Apparently it's about computer science / information technology contributions to science as a whole:
Fortran compiler
Fast Fourier transform
Biological databases
General circulation model of the climate
BLAS
NIH Image / ImageJ / Fiji
BLAST
arXiv
IPython Notebook / Jupyter
AlexNet
Interesting that they do not list the internet itself.
- ralfn 6y agoI think the OP was referring to the unfortunate phrasing. For a publication like Nature to use baby-talk phrasings that are just semantic nonsense. Im not a native English speaker, but I would be embarrassed if I wrote that headline.
- wyldfire 6y agoFor a scientist who uses computers but not to write software, it's probably forgivable. It seems even more forgivable for a journalist.
- imglorp 6y agoI would like to nominate several newer software-heavy projects that have moved humanity forward. * CERN LHC * Event Horizon Telescope * LIGO
